My keyboard was made to be used this way! https://www.zsa.io/voyager/

I have a trackpad on my lap desk, though, and for that I used Velcro, because yep.

Having had a full numpad on one of my layers for the last few years, I hate having to stretch my fingers all weird to hit 6, for instance, when using my laptop's keyboards with a number row.

Yep, those ones!

Yep! And for mouse control I mostly use the keyboard itself, or a trackpad on a lap desk. https://www.lauralangdon.io/blog/

 

The chair’s cover has a zipper underneath, and it just occurred to me I could stick magnets in the arms, under the fabric, so my keyboard can attach to the chair. 🎉

And with the AR glasses I can just recline and putter away on the three virtual monitors on my ceiling. 😎

Just the Voyager by itself is 419g.

They're often called "jewel" or "gem" stickers, and these are the ones I have. I just had them on hand from an earlier project (bedazzling Flo masks!), so most of the stickers in that pack aren't suited to the keycap use case.

So far they're staying on well, but if they start falling off I'm going to try using silicone glue to keep them on.

You’re welcome! Yeah, the magnetic base plate on the Voyager was really tipped me into buying it, since otherwise it’s so similar to the Moonlander. I did add MagSafe stickers to the base of the Moonlander to use with the tripod mounts, and that worked well, but it wasn’t quite as amazingly adjustable and the magnetic attraction was sufficiently strong but not as strong as the Voyager’s.

For me it’s all about major tenting—like nearly 90 degrees—to keep my wrists in a neutral “handshake” position. Having my wrists rotated to be use a keyboard that’s facing straight up gives me carpal tunnel. You could try tenting your Sofle or Kyria to see if that helps.

Okay, I've updated the post with lots more pictures and details at the end, including links to the all the bits and pieces. 😊

 

I've only seen solid-color keycaps for Chocs, and I'd love to get some cute ones like there are for Cherry MX switches. I'm thinking of sets like Bubble, Castle Idol, Honey Milk, and Witch Girl. Do sets like these exist for Choc switches?

I love the Voyager so far. 💜
